The company said it delivered a total of 14,370 cars during the second quarter of 2016, which falls well short of its expected goal of 17,000 vehicles. Breaking it down, Tesla said it was able to push out 9,745 Model Ss and 4,625 Model Xs between April and June. These numbers do not include the 5,150 Model S and Model X vehicles the automaker claims were still on en-route to their owners by the end of the quarter; those cars will be lumped in with the cars that head off the line in Q3.

The automaker blames the missed goal on an "extreme production ramp," a phrase which seems like it's missing the word "up" at the end of it, and the multitude of vehicles still in transit toward the end of the quarter.

By the end of the second quarter, Tesla was churning out 2,000 cars a week. The automaker hopes to raise that number to 2,200 vehicles a week in quarter three and 2,400 per week in quarter four. No matter how quickly they get to 2,400 cars per week, however, this weak start means it's going to be incredibly difficult—if not impossible—for the company to achieve its goal of 80,000 to 90,000 deliveries in 2016.
